    Monte cristo
    Justin B.

    Wow. Just wow. This place was so delicious. I want to go again and we just left. My wife got the Bloody Mary with scrapple, chicken and a waffle. This thing was a meal. I tried some of the chicken and it was perfectly cooked. Like you know how some times breaded chicken gets over done when they deep fry it? Well this was super juicy inside still. Made me regret not getting chicken and waffles. Got the frozen coffee and I like most coffee smoothies it was very coffee tasting. I'd go back just for that. For my meal I got the egg white crab meal. Man was it delicious. Perfectly cooked asparagus. Only qualm was man is it loud on there. I couldn't hear anyone at my table but I could hear everyone in the place. Could only hear the bass line of the music. Conversation was impossible. Best place we've been to so far from here.

    Steak and eggs

    Delicious brunch! We had the steak and eggs as well as the jammy egg. Food was amazing and we will be back again!

    Yet another great meal at The Dewey Post! We tried a few different items this time and more towards lunch than breakfast. I also stopped by and picked up a bunch of fresh pastries to bring as a hostess gift which included cinnamon buns with maple cream cheese, blueberry scone, blueberry corn muffin, blueberry muffin, crumb cake, etc. All were fabulous!

    My new best friend-- Chris.

    Never, ever have we been disappointed. Just great food-- but more importantly-- the vibe of the place. If feels like you are walking into your own kitchen with all your family and friends there to eat with you. It is a well run place from the moment you walk in-- coffee/tea/ordering/eating-- but you do not feel rushed. Just at your own kitchen table --- just having another cup of coffee until you start the day-- and being ok with that pace. With indoor and outdoor seating--- you have an option depending on your mood. The kitchen is fast and the staff is the best around-- so welcoming and warm. It isn't unusual to chat with Chris/hostess over breakfast. It is that wonderful feeling you get when a friend stops by for some coffee/breakfast-- priceless. Please take a moment to stop by -- it will be so worth it.

    Scrapple

    I really wanted to love this place more. Everything looked great but my food felt like it was lacking some flavor. I got the country fried streak and felt under seasoned. My wife and kids though loved their selections. My wife and daughter shared the waffle board and my son loved his chicken salad sandwich. The scrapple was nice and crispy. Overall, it was a fairly enjoyable breakfast.

    Belgian Waffle Monte Cristo!!  Amazing!!
    Nina R.

    I was at Lewes Beach for the weekend and we came here to Dewey Beach for Sunday brunch. I ordered the Monte Cristo Belgian Waffle sandwich that came with home fries and hot coffee. The Waffle sandwich was made to perfection with little crystals of sugar cooked into the waffles, warm syrup on the side with ham and cheese on the inside. Super indulgent. I had to take half to go and ate it later. Yummmy!Yummy!! They were attentive and I really felt taken care of. The atmosphere is cozy, well lit, very popular place! Highly recommend for brunch!

    Beautiful Wednesday morning not too crowded, great service, delicious pastry and matcha latte. My favorite was to spend a day off after a walk on the beach

    Double express

    Dewey Post hits the spot. Full bar and espresso bar. Indoor and outdoor seating. We had the three egg breakfast with ham and sausage gravy on the side. Yum yum! Veggie grits with an amazing amount of bacon as a meat choice. Great mimosas, Americanos and expressos to finish up. Highly recommend, friendly staff. Excellent vibes.

    Caprese avo toast with fried egg

    Food was great - service was top notch & it was a perfect brunch spot! Only thing missing was pancakes. Charming location!

    Sausage Gravy
    Matthew U.

    It's really amazing that I never made it to this place in all the years I have visited. It was right there the whole time, like right next door to the hotel I was staying at. It was just there. Most likely the reason I never got here was the fact that they are open for only breakfast, brunch, and lunch. I'm not a big fan of being up and functioning at that time, let alone eating. However, my friends made sure to get me here on my last visit. The Dewey Post is quaint. It has so much charm to it. During the warmer months you have the opportunity to eat outside on either the deck or sidewalk. Or, if you wish, you can dine inside, if you do, it feels like you are in the dining room of a very welcoming home. To get to your seats you will have to pass by the display case where there are multiple pastries on display that will undoubtedly temp you to ruin your meal. Once I got to the table my friends were at I had a menu in hand and was looking it over. There were tons of recommendations from everyone at the table, especially since they have come before. I kept going back and forth on a few items, while I was still mulling it over I did place my drink order. I wanted sweet tea, when I had asked, they told me they don't have it on the menu, but they could put some simple syrup in their iced tea. That worked just fine for me, didn't taste too bad either. I also asked for some water. I finally decided on what to get and I went with the Sausage Gravy. This was so delicious that it had me nearly licking my plate. Not sure how they make their gravy, but it was very tasty and made me want more. But I don't think that this should be overshadowing the base of the plate. That buttermilk biscuit situated underneath it all. With each bite I took, I made sure that scooped up more and more of that gravy. making sure each bite almost was covered in it. What I liked most about it was the size of the chucks of sausage within the gravy. This is a comfort food and it definitely brought me comfort. It made me sleepy and that wasn't so bad since I just had to go back right next door.

    Local hot sauce. Not too hot, great flavor.
    Phil B.

    Delicious & different. Friendly, hospitable staff. Very personable server. A must for breakfast or brunch.

    Breakfast burrito with scrap & eggs - meh! Perhaps sausages would be better.

A special thank you to Peter "Pan" for making our night so memorable. Not only were the cocktails delicious, but watching him craft those amazing bourbon creations was an experience in itself.

    **in response to the owners comment, we never met you. We didn't send food back nor did we request…read morenew food, and you, nor anyone else EVER brought me any additional drink on the house. I only had the one I paid for. There's no need to lie, bad days happen. This is not a speakeasy, this is a restaurant cosplaying as a speakeasy. That may be a bit harsh, it's a speakeasy in training. Sure, it's got all of the speakeasy decor, blackout curtains over the windows and doors, and a big selection of pedestrian liquor but it's not quite there. We went in on an early evening on Wed and there were maybe 5 other patrons in there. Our waitress was nice and brought us water to the high top. She brought us two food menus, and a specials menu. I asked for a bourbon list and she brought it; no prices on the list. Annoying. On the specials menu there was a small section of manager recommended drinks and one was a Willet. The way it was written was confusing because it said it was both a 4 year and 14 year for $52, so I asked for clarification on the age statement. She took the menu to the barkeep, who confirmed it was a 14 year so I said yes I'll have that. A drink was brought to me, but I could tell from the taste that it was not what I ordered. I asked the waitress for the bottle, she asked the guy behind the bar for the bottle and he pulled down a willet pot still bottle (pot still is the entry level Willet and at best a 5 dollar pour, no where near what I asked for). I told her that I was given the wrong drink, then she approached the bar and between her, and the male and female bartenders they had a weird back and forth conversation. Then, finally they pulled down the bottle that I asked for, that was advertised, and gave me a pour of it. I asked to see the bottle and the waitress brought it over but held it instead of putting it on the table (it was a 13 year Willet, Paper Trail). As we were about to order we were told that they reset the menu the very day before, with the focus of putting more love and care into the food. Feeling good about that, we ordered the French quarter catfish and the bourbon braised short ribs. The corn that came with the short ribs tasted straight out of a store bought steamable pouch, and the "ribs" weren't ribs at all, just sliced meat. The only redeemable thing about the catfish dish was the aioli; the rice had no flavor, the corn was cold and hard, and the catfish was mostly breading. We both took a few bites and resigned. I have been to many speakeasies around the US, and there are common themes: a much better selection of liquor; 95% of the bourbon were low tier bottles you can find in any liquor store for around $50. Also, when customers ask for the bottle, it isn't because we plan to steal it or drink from it, its because we're genuinely interested in the information on the labels. The quickest way to get people to stop spending money is to make them feel as if they can't be trusted touching a bottle. Perhaps it was an off day for the staff and this wasn't a typical experience, but I won't go back.

    We had such a wonderful experience here, despite one unfortunate miss with one of our entrées…read more We arrived about an hour early for our reservation and were able to find seats at the bar while we waited. From the moment we walked in, the host and owner were incredibly welcoming and kind. We started with a Hefeweizen and a Cosmo. While the Cosmo wasn't anything particularly unusual, it was honestly perfection -- exactly how a good Cosmo should taste. Once we were seated, we were taken care of by two servers who were both so friendly, attentive, and conversational. We shared the buttermilk fried oysters to start, which were delicious -- and actually my first time trying a fried oyster! For dinner, we ordered the lobster spaghettini and the New Bedford scallops. Unfortunately, something about the lobster spaghettini was really off. I have NEVER sent a dish back at a restaurant, but neither of us could eat it. I couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was, but the flavor seemed to be coming from the breadcrumbs throughout the dish, which tasted extremely stale (not just toasted) or maybe just too much miso? That being said, the way it was handled could not have been better. The owner was incredibly gracious and accommodating and immediately offered to exchange my dish. I ordered the scallops instead, and they were absolutely delicious. Beautifully seared, and the accompaniments worked so well together. One bad dish could have easily soured the experience, but it genuinely didn't. Between the oysters, scallops, drinks, and especially the hospitality, there was far more to compliment than criticize. The staff made us feel so welcome, and I really appreciated how kindly the situation was handled. We would absolutely return and recommend this restaurant. Sometimes how a restaurant responds when something isn't perfect says just as much as what happens when everything is -- and they handled it wonderfully.

As we told the waitress she then rolled her eyes and walked to get the replacement ones which were packed with a tiny bit more meat. Honestly I would just avoid them anyway they were that good. The burger was okay nothing special a solid 7/10. I probably wouldn't go back here though just not my vibe especially with the kids running by our table and screaming while playing pool.
